Seth is home and happy

Seth came home on Saturday because his GVHD can be treated with oral medications. He arrived, tired, lethargic, weak and very skinny but very, very happy.
He has made a whole week at home and is doing very well. He has alot of medications to take, but they are doing their job very well. All his symptoms are gone and now it is just a matter of getting him to put on some weight and slowly wean him off his medication when the threat of GVHD goes away.
We went to the hospital on Wednesday and all appears to be going well.
Now that Seth is home, he is eating (which also is because he is on steroids), he is walking around the house, playing with his dog and even cooking things in the kitchen (also the steroids working their magic).
All in all, we are in a really good spot right now and we couldn't be happier having our family back together again after being separated for so long.
I am now very tired as it is all catching up with me but very content to be back where I belong. Things are certainly looking very positive as we have a new baby arriving in the family (Seth's uncle and aunty Tod and Kerry) and my cousin (Matthew Forsdike) who had terminal cancer (Melanoma) has just been cleared of all cancer thanks to a new experimental drug he was offered to trial. Happy news all around and it feels like a new beginning for our family.
